Celtic evening performance

[Barb T]

Hi guys! I'm going to be the MC again for the following event to be held in Rome, NY on May 9. Hope some of you in the area can come!

---
On Saturday, May 9th, the Mohawk Valley Frasers will host Celtic Evening 3, an encore to the two Celtic Evenings presented in April 2005 and 2007. The show will feature some of central NY's finest musicians and dancers, including vocalists, Irish step dancers, Scottish highland dancers, Irish fiddlers, uilleann pipers, a Celtic mandolin player, an Irish folk group, a highland drum salute, the Comhaltas musicians, and the Mohawk Valley Frasers Pipes and Drums.

World-class piper Andrew Douglas will return and be doubly featured with performances in both acts of what is scheduled to be an hour and a half of top-flight entertainment. Douglas is a former member of the several-time world champion Simon Fraser University Pipe Band in Vancouver and currently Pipe Major of Oran Mor Pipe Band. He contributed a show-stopping performance in 2007 that received standing ovations, and he obliged the audience with an impromptu encore. Douglas grew up in Syracuse and, as a boy, piped with Mohawk Valley Frasers.

As with the first two Celtic Evenings, all proceeds will benefit the Capitol Theatre and the Mohawk Valley Frasers Celtic Arts scholarships. Tickets in advance are $12/$8/$4 (adults, students/seniors, children) and $15/$10/$5 at the door. Tickets may be purchased in advance by calling the Capitol Theatre Box Office at 337-6453 or at the door on the night of the performance.
